A history full of promise.

Benefit from 165 years of experience.

The foundations of our company were laid in the middle of the19th century. Initial developments were characterised by a great deal of curiosity, enthusiasm, inventiveness, progress and innovation.

The end of these initial developments saw the emergence of a leading global manufacturer of high-end adhesive bonds. Read on if you would like to know how Lohmann has become what it is today:

Inauguration of the new Technology Center in Neuwied.

July 2016

In July 2016 Lohmann goes public with a new Corporate Design.

2013

Since January 1st Martin Schilcher joins Lohmann as a new member of the Executive Board.

2009

The die-cutting specialist and long-standing Metafol subsidiary in Remscheid now also trades as a member of the Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG group.

April 2003

Lohmann gets a new logo and corporate look. The old cross is revitalised in a vivid, modern design with a slightly curved shape. It symbolises what has made Lohmann so well known all over the world: adhesive tapes.

2003

The last remaining member of the founding family, Dr Martin Barth, retires. Jürgen Walda and Manfred Meier take over the management of the company.

2000

Acquisition of Lohmann Durabloc in Louviers, France. Competence centres include the coating of web substrates with solvent-based adhesives and the die-cutting of formed parts.

Brothers Dr Peter Barth and Dr Martin Barth take over the management of the company. Internationalisation begins as Lohmann progresses to become one of the largest manufacturers of technical adhesive tapes in the world.

A new procedure is developed to series-production readiness for the compression of non-woven textiles (fleece). In 1949, the first binder-free non-woven fabrics go into production.

1938

Lohmann starts to manufacture double-sided adhesive tapes. Johannes Lohmann hands over management of the company to the husband of his youngest daughter, Dr. Gustav Adolf Barth.

1929

In May 1929, the company changes its name to "Lohmann". The fact that the family name was chosen for the company pays homage to the men who exercised such a decisive influence on the fate of the company almost eight decades ago.

1899

The company moves from Godesberg to Fahr, on the Rhine. Johannes Lohmann, the brother of the managing director, joins the company.

1870

August Lohmann takes over the management of the company. The company moves to Bad Godesberg and starts producing newly-developed surgical cotton wool, before expanding the product range to include gauze tapes and bandages. This results in the birth of the Lüscher & Bömper "cotton wool and dressing materials factory".
